ita: if you choose not to take Nilly's offer, consider Thailand. Krabi province--not Phuket, which is horribly overdeveloped, but Cape Phra Nang, which is somewhat more rural, with bungalow complexes under the coconut palms. Rock-climbing, snorkling, gorgeous white sand beaches, kayaking. It's really beautiful and pretty cheap -- or at least it was 10 years ago when I was there. Another option is the islands: Ko Phi Phi on the west coast, or Ko Samui on the east.
Winter is the high season, but I think the monsoon is probably over by now...
Brenda, I hope your dad is OK.
Many vibes to your dad, brenda!
Yikes, Brenda- I hope your dad is OK. ~ma to you all, I know it's been a tough time lately.
Belated happies to Aimee! Hope it was a good one. Sorry about the car crap though. That's no way to spend a birthday!
ita, um, I'd take Suela's offer over mine.
brenda, lots of hope-it-gets-as-well-as-possible-as-easily-and-quickly-as-possible to your father (and you, of course).
Aims! I wasn't online on your birthday, so happy third-day-of-your-new-age!
Best wishes for your dad Brenda.
Subatomic plush toys, cool!

I am, however, disappointed that the plush nucleons are not zippered covers that contain little up and down plush quarks.
The toys are cute.
I found my elementary school huge crush on CouchSurfing (actually, my CSer found him, looking for a hosts).
I'm pretty much shocked. Regardless to that I really, really don't find him attractive now, I hate it when the past sneak up on my like this.
Geez.
Post-weekend catchup, done. Woo. Also gronk.
And timelies!
I'm watching the archived live feed of cross country - v. early in the feed: Mark Todd makes it look easy - like - why don't we all get a horse and gallop cross country jumping "chopsticks" and "crouching dragons" and the Great Wall? Surely, it's possible.
